I'm Back!

THAT WAS SOOOOO MUCH FUN!

Can't wait 'til the next trip up!

P.S. One of the days I had a pretty good workout. The rest of the days were spent playing. Oh well. So I slacked off a bit. I'll work twice as hard next week when I get my strength back from travelling.

I never thought I would be able to survive a 12 hour road trip!

Can't Wait!

Should be a fun weekend!

P.S. Hopefully I'll be able to get a workout though...

Another Workout!?!

This mornings endeavour, as pitiful as it may have been, was a little unusual for my training routine which does not mean the rest of the day should be just as unusual. After a great movie and a brief stroll through one of my favourite stores, I proceeded to Chesapeake for my evening exercises.

Since having ran this morning, I lessened my mileage as well as time. My training partner had already began their stroll around the park completing 5 1/2 laps. This is also with 5 lb weights, not what I would recommend for the beginner or even intermmediate trainer unless you have had prior weight training. Anyways, I completed 4 laps at 00:32:24 and ran/walk the last lap with my training partner. Immediately following was an hour of martial arts training beginning with 60 crunches, 40 push-ups, and much needed stretching.

I am thoroughly physically tired, not exhausted but tired. And it is a good "tired". I had a great training day! I am sore, but I feel good :o)

Okay, I'm Tired :o)

Today was a Mt. Trashmore run:

2 1/2 loops at 1:25:47. The first loop split was at 00:33:49. The second loop split was at 1:06:23. That's the longest I have run in a while, yay! No bo workout; I took too long to go around the lake that my running partner was finishing soon after me.

Onward to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen!

Late Monday Afternoon Training Update

Well that was pitiful...again!

Chesapeake run: 8 laps at 1:06:36 with a 00:32:16 split. One lap is approximately 3/4 a mile so hopefully I ran about 6 miles. The next 45 minutes was spent stretching, crunches, push-ups, and various other exercises for strengthening my legs and stretching out my back muscles. My back still seems to be giving me grief. I guess that's going to take a while to heal.

My training partner in Chesapeake had to stop walking after the 4th lap. Not bad for just starting to walk distances! Blisters can really be a pain if your feet aren't accustomed to the wear and tear that happens inside the shoe.

Sunday Morning Training Update

That was somewhat relaxing. Two loops (yay!) at approximately 6 miles 1:05:25 with a 00:35:14 split. Heh, I thought it amusing that my second loop was 5 minutes faster than the first! :oP

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! to all the dads, soon-to-be-dads, and "Fathers"! May the blessings of your children bring you joy for many years.

Now to gather in Suffolk!

Back on the Pavement

So, I am finally out of the hospital and back on the pavement wearing off more rubber from the soles of my shoes.

I actually felt pretty good and was willing to run 2 loops; however, the "other" was not, and so I ran a relaxing approximate 3 miles at 00:34:04.

Tomorrow I plan on the 2 loops. Let's see if it'll happen! :o]
